Hello everyone. I have a brand new home theater/home stereo setup consisting of:
HSU HB1 MK2 main speakers
HSU HC1 MK2 center
Yamaha RXV-375 reciever
Sony BPS-D3100 blue ray player
Polk PSW 110 subwoofer
Panasonic 52" Plasma TV(6 years old).
Unfortunately, I have my hb1's actually sitting in bookshelfs that are custom built ins on either side of my fireplace. They are approximately 12' apart, and 12' from my listening position, toed in slightly in front of the listening position, and placed with tweeters at ear level. I know that placing them in a bookshelf is not optimal for sound, but placing them on stands in the room is not an option. My main question is, should I be using some sort of isolation material such as rubber or felt pads to isolate the cabinets from the bookshelf?
Future plans call for upgrading the subwoofer(HSU VTF3-MK4), although to me, the sound quality is quite amazing for the lower price level items I have.
While I am at it, and to avoid posting another thread, does anyone have any advice on the best option to integrate my media library into my home theater in a convenient manner? I have my media on my desktop computer with a wireless internet network in the house. Was hoping to somehow link this to the home theater with remote access via either a wireless keyboard or perhaps incorporate the Jriver software somehow. Lost....help!
